Comprehensive Cancer Control

With funding from the Kentucky Dept. for Public Health (KDPH), KCP worked with organizations across the state to develop a Cancer Action Plan for Kentucky (PDF), which was completed in January 2001.  Two years later, KCP received a five-year grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to establish a statewide consortium to facilitate the implementation of the plan.  The award was the result of a collaborative effort between KCP, KDPH, and the American Cancer Society.

Comprehensive Cancer Control presents an opportunity for Kentucky to expand existing cancer prevention and control efforts through enhanced coordination and collaboration.  KCP supports the activities of the Kentucky Cancer Consortium and serves as a member of the Steering Committee.
